Do you make any use of RSS feeds e.g. at your office? I'm asking because of the Google Office Hacks chapter on Google Reader, looking for cool uses!

Hells yes!

What sort of use are you thinking of specifically? Business driven (using RSS as a data source for an app)? Research driven (using RSS to monitor yourself and competitors)?

I'm about 75% of the way through a Google Office article on corporate espionage and self-surveillance that uses reader as the primary interface, so there's that too :)

All & anything actually! Both business driven and research driven sound interesting. I've also dropped you an email just now.

I don't use RSS. I prefer visiting the sites

One of our clients uses an RSS feed to push content for us to translate. One of our engineers then monitors the feed using a desktop reader, extracts the text and gets it translated. (I'm not sure I can reveal any more publicly...)

I prefer using RSS to keep an eye on the vulnerabilities of different products being published.

This keeps me updated without giving out my email for spam :)

how do you manage to visit 50 or more such sites daily. Sometimes you might be reaching a blog to see that nothing have been added.

Rohit, you'll adjust your visiting frequency when that happens... well, that's how I do it :)

Over the summer, when I interned. I used the RSS Feed of the Company Name and issues that pertained to them (from Google News), so that I'd have something interesting/intelligent to talk about at the water cooler :D
